Ronwen Williams recently broke SuperSport United’s record for the most starts by a player, and amazing achievement considering he is only still 26 years of age.
The goalkeeper is one of a handful of active players who holds the record for club appearances, with the majority being names from the previous century.
Here KweséESPN looks at who holds the same record at all 16 PSL clubs for top-flight, cup and CAF club competition matches.

The transfer window only officially opens on July 1, but already there has been plenty of trading of players in South Africa’s Premier Soccer League.
That includes players who have been confirmed on the ‘release list’ of their clubs and will be free agents at the start of next month, potentially providing a bargain for teams on the hunt for talent.
KweséESPN looks at 10 high-profile PSL stars who are available for nothing.

Steve Komphela’s arrival at modest South African Premier Soccer League side Bloemfontein Celtic could turn out to be a shrewd career move as he seeks to rebuild a shattered reputation after three barren years at Kaizer Chiefs.
Celtic confirmed on Wednesday that they had secured Komphela on a two-year deal with an option for an extra season as they seek to return to the top half of the league next season with a squad that is unlikely to feature many big-name signings.
Komphela joined Chiefs in 2015…

South Africa’s Premier Soccer League has announced the dates and venues for the quarterfinals of the Nedbank Cup, the country’s equivalent of the FA Cup.
The marquee fixture in the round will see Cape Town City host Mamelodi Sundowns at the Cape Town Stadium on April 1 in a fixture that has the feel of a final.
City have already had to overcome Bidvest Wits and Orlando Pirates to reach this stage, and now face potentially their biggest test yet.
Coach Benni McCarthy is hoping that Sundowns will…
Bloemfontein Celtic and Chippa United collected wins on Sunday to cement their places in the South African Premier Soccer League top eight, but for the vanquished teams, their poor runs continue.

With the South African Premier Soccer League fixtures again thrown into a shambles by SuperSport United’s run to the CAF Confederation Cup Final, it is tough to gauge just who is in command in the title race this season.
SuperSport have played half the number of matches (six) of leaders Baroka FC, and while there is something to be said for getting points on the board, it is clear that the Limpopo club are in something of a false position.
KweséESPN takes a look at the number of points per…

Bloemfontein Celtic booked their place in the final of the Telkom Knockout competition with a penalty shoot-out victory over hosts Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday.
Celtic triumphed 4-3 in the shoot-out after a 1-1 draw and will now meet Bidvest Wits in the decider at Durban’s Princess Magogo Stadium on December 2.
The visitors just about deserved their win as they took the lead in extra time through Jacky Motshegwa, only to be pinned back by an equaliser from Rendani Ndou.
They…
